I do Rover for extra fun money and I get to watch other peoples dogs when I don’t have one myself right now.

Several folks have noted that my immediate reply threw them for loops. One told me she thought it was spam that I responded so quickly.

Rover has a “Star Sitter” designation and response time is one of the metrics. Star Sitters show up at the top of the algorithm’s results so I’m incentivized to keep it up. Plus; I absolutely despise waiting forever for others to reply and I want to make sure I get bookings, knowing there are MANY available sitters in my area.

I never would have thought it was spammy or suspicious AI behavior. Thank you for cementing it in my mind that maybe I’m a little too eager. Considering I’m entirely booked out until mid-October, I’m either doing something right or people are that desperate for a good human to watch their pup for them.

I found a good cat-sitter through Rover and would do crime if she made it a condition of her next visit.

> That said, the main issue I find with agentic is my mental model getting desynchronized. No matter how fast the models get, it takes a fixed amount of time for me to catch up and understand what they've done.

This is why I'm so skeptical of anyone running 6+ Claude sessions at a time. I've gotten to 5 but really that was across 3 sessions with 2 standing by just to commit stuff. And even with just 3 sessions I constantly lost where I was and wasted time re-orienting myself, doing work in the wrong session, etc.

>The most enjoyable way I've found of staying synced is to stay in the driver's seat, and to command many small rapid edits manually.

Same, there's a fantastic flow state/momentum I can get in a single session just knocking off features. I don't mind switching between two sessions in this state but the experience is better when it's two different projects vs two different features on the same project. The complete context switch lets be re-orient more easily

Warning: I was in two different project experimenting with similar forms of db access at the same time. don't do that.

Which does indicate that even if AI becomes good at coding, we will still need humans to glue all the AI stuff together.

yeah, I don't think the jenga tower is changing but the levels of abstraction will.

I mean it's new enough to essentially still be a neologism, so you're right - we can give any arbitrary definition to it if we like. I'm just describing my own observations.
resize2996 · 2 months ago
the abstractions around this stuff are still a jenga stack with round pieces... I think it will tighten up over the next year or so for real world use cases. Right now it's great if one is a "build your own tools" kinda person.

This isn't remotely true. Vibe coding explicitly does not care about whether software works correctly because the fundamental tenet is not needing to understand how the software works (& by extension being unable to verify whether it works correctly).

"fundamental tenet"? There's not an engineering pope speaking ex cathedra.

The difference between those is the person is actually using this text editor that they built with the help of LLMs. There's plenty of people creating novel scripts and programs that can accommodate their own unique specifications.

If a programmer creating their own software (or contracting it out to a developer) would be a bespoke suit and using software someone or some company created without your input is an off the rack suit, I'd liken these sorts of programs as semi-bespoke, or made to measure.

"LLMs are literally technology that can only reproduce the past" feels like an odd statement. I think the point they're going for is that it's not thinking and so it's not going to produce new ideas like a human would? But literally no technology does that. That is all derived from some human beings being particularly clever.

LLMs are tools. They can enable a human to create new things because they are interfacing with a human to facilitate it. It's merging the functional knowledge and vision of a person and translating it into something else.

compilers can only produce machine code. so unorginal.

> Privilege isn't just about wealth.

Which poor people exactly do you consider privileged, and why?

> The point is that although anyone can ignore the news, the news won't necessarily ignore them!

What can they do about the news, though? I specifically said, "they may feel powerless to change anything".

those with insulation from genocide and displacement despite poverty.

their point is that, say, a german peasant in 17th century couldn't avoid the Thirty Years War.
